I'll go ahead and say it. Predictive typing is as advanced as just throwing spaghetti at a wall and seeing what sticks.
The typo in "hour” is mine. The suggestion to complete the sentence with "horseshoe” is Microsoft Outlook’s.
Even worse, I have "Check spelling as you type” and “Check grammar as you type" both turned on.
Not too bad, if I say so myself!

Is there any way to set the compose in Linux to AltGr without breaking the standard Irish keyboard layout? I'd like to be able to type €áéíóú on my laptop but also use the keyboard for German and French with the compose key. With an external keyboard I can set it to [Menu], but my laptop's built in keyboard doesn't have [Menu]

Yes, typr has a beautiful dashboard for typing practice.
Will it support more keyboard layouts and form factors (4×6 or 3×6 keys) ?
The francophone typists use Bépo and Ergo-L* layouts too.
I started to use #VIM within #IntelliJ a while ago - thanks to @daschners. Now my brain messes with me in other editors. I am not the only one with that problem, right? How do other VIM users handle typing in other editors like browsers or mail clients? #Editors #Typing #Programming
I had a #typing class in 7th grade in about 1985. They were "fancy" electric #typewriters. We were taught to put two spaces after a period. The habit continues today on computer #keyboards.
How did you learn to type?
People ask why I use Neovim.
It's because of amazing plugins like this

I already have a placeholder issue on my cookiecutter template repo: https://github.com/cthoyt/cookiecutter-snekpack/issues/12
I'd have voted yes 
Because writing is cursive.
Non-cursive is printing...
I used to have very neat, very fast, not quite cursive handwriting style.
But my English teacher in school forced me to write with loops and a right slant. This ruined my #handwriting. 
Using a keyboard is #typing. And I have used a typewriter!
Odd how we now talk about #writers and #writing when neither is really true! 
P.S. I am actually writing 
a #book, and a very enjoyable a process it is too.

Anyone else preferring `typing.Optional` over the union type expression for optional values?
I find `x: Optional[int]` more readable than `x: int | None`.
Or maybe it’s just a matter of getting used to the latter 
**Handwriting but not typewriting leads to widespread brain connectivity: a high-density EEG study with implications for the classroom**
_“Our results reveal that whenever handwriting movements are included as a learning strategy, more of the brain gets stimulated, resulting in the formation of more complex neural network connectivity. It appears that the movements related to typewriting do not activate these connectivity networks the same way that handwriting does.”_

Just broke the barrier of 100 words per minute in a typing test for the first time ever, with the colemak-dh layout.
Started learning blind typing a few weeks ago — and ended up swapping the LCtrl and CapsLock keys to reduce finger movement.
